Laphroaig Oak Select Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

Laphroaig Select Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a bold and approachable Islay whisky that showcases the distillery’s signature peaty character with added layers of complexity. It is crafted using a unique blend of whiskies matured in different cask types, including Oloroso sherry, American oak, white oak, Pedro Ximénez, and quarter casks. This selection process results in a well-balanced yet unmistakably smoky dram.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Classic Laphroaig peat smoke, with hints of seaweed, citrus, vanilla, and subtle spice.

• Palate: Smooth and slightly sweet, featuring flavors of honey, oak, dried fruit, and a wave of smoky, medicinal peat. A touch of black pepper and licorice adds depth.

• Finish: Long and warming, with lingering smoke, sweet vanilla, and a hint of spice.

Laphroaig Select is a great introduction to the distillery’s intense peaty style while offering a smoother, slightly sweeter profile than some of its more heavily peated expressions. It’s an excellent choice for both Islay whisky newcomers and seasoned peat lovers.
